And he was great! He had two other players; another guitarist and a bassist, though the bassist would sometimes add third six string guitar. They played a lot of Martin's songs, but also a lot of Tull songs as well as some other covers. All acoustic. Martin also played mandolin on several songs. The rhythm guitarist sang and had a fantastic voice.

If you have a chance to see them do this acoustic show up close, take a chance. I think you'll enjoy it.

Congrats,I bet it was good. I been a huge Jethro Tull fan since back in the 70s when I saw them three times. Still think Thick as a Brick is one of the best concept albums ever.

Bert, I'm with ya on Thick as a Brick! Great album.

My first Tull concert was 1975 at the Boston Garden; War Child tour.

I was buying a t-shirt from Martin's wife the other night and mentioned that and she said that was the year they met.

I'm a big Tull fan. Saw them from about tenth row center at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis in May of 1972. Played the entire Thick As A Brick album, took a break, then came back with another set of older things from earlier albums. Great show.

The 70s were just a great time for rock music and affordable concerts.

^^^Great collection of ticket stubs. I should have at least as good a collection, but for some reason, I didn't save many, or I lost them along the way. Mine go back to 1970 and $3-$4-$5 prices. A great time for concerts.

Saw Tull live several times a lifetime ago. Barre is a great player.

Eddie Jobson ruined it for me, playing King of the Hill during the “A” tour. Casted Anderson aside and chased him away for two hours. Martin Barre stood embarassed behind a speaker column the whole show.

Saw most of my favorites during that period: Pink Floyd Animals Tour, Yes Going for the One, Led Zep last album/tour with Bonham, Clapton, Genesis Seconds Out, Supertramp in Paris, Bowie Stage, etc. Bursting out still remains in the top five of those memorable Tours/Albums.

Will have to listen to my Barre albums again.

Nice collection of tickets. Wish I'd kept mine. I'm a bit younger than you I think; my first concert was Yes in Dec. of 1974, but from then on saw quite a few regularly.
